Daniel Andrews says he's not in the business of lecturing his colleagues but both the federal and state governments need to maturely resolve the issue.

"Both those from the commonwealth government and the state government need to sit down, in a room, and work out how they're going to fix this," he told reporters on Thursday.

"We can't have a situation where patients are waiting longer than they should for the care that they need while politicians continue to play a blame game, trying to score points off each other."

Mr Andrews said his office had been in touch with federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek's office and his views were well known.

Victorian Health Minister David Davis says Canberra has cut $107 million from existing hospital budgets, while Ms Plibersek maintains Victoria will receive $900 million more in hospital funding over four years.

The funding cuts have prompted The Alfred to reportedly axe 300 operations, while the Royal Children's Hospital has announced it will have to slash 50 jobs.

Mr Baillieu said all state health ministers in November condemned the federal funding cut.
